Today's Ski Report
MacKenzie XC Ski Trail

UPDATED 2/12/26:

Not much new snow but we did a drag today and it should freeze up tonight before the warm temps set in for the holiday weekend. Expect lots of action out there and please yield to faster and downhill traffic. Wax up to avoid sticking!

Report any downed trees by filling out the form on our website. Learn more about the MacKenzie Trail here.

Latest Update
Ice Report: Lake Mitchell & Cadillac
Even with all this snow, this cold weather is making the ice build up. Snow seems to be at a minimum of 6" with more along the shorelines and many drifts of 8-10+" so travel with ATV's may be difficult. Plenty fine if you're on a snowmobile or track sled. Everybody have a great weekend and stay safe! Learn more at Pilgrim Village Fishing Shop.

NEW SNOW:
15-20"

CONDITIONS:  Impassible

Ice and heavy snow have created tons of problems in our area, on both roads and trails. Trails are not passible at this point for Groomers. We hope to open them up later this week, although warm temps and some rain are expected by the end of the week. Just wanted to get a current update out there, as we do not recommend people coming up to ride at this time due to all the downed trees/branches. Many businesses and homes are still out of power, including Coyote Crossing Resort. ** Please reach out to Pete, if you’re in the area and can help with clean-up efforts Wednesday and/or Thursday! **
